Customer Reviews

The appeal is the look into the personalities of the X-Men

As someone who read the X-Men comics when they first appeared, I sometimes find the modern version a bit difficult to take. The new characters and the new appearance of the remaining old characters can be difficult for an old hand to accept. However, this book provides an interesting look into the personalities of some of the members of the X-Men superhero group. It is a list of debriefings of the members after they have engaged in a major battle against one of the forces of evil. The X-Men interviewed are: *) Professor X *) Jean Grey *) Cyclops *) Wolverine *) Rogue *) Beast *) Storm *) Gambit *) Jubilee The most appealing aspect of the book is that it provides insight into the inner mental workings of the mutant X-Men. It reveals their personalities in ways that cannot be done in cartoons or movies.

An X-MEN fans answer to How it all began?

This was truly a well written book. It gave the readers a chance to look at an adventure through the eyes of the greatest superhero team of all time, the X-MEN. Each X-Man had their on personality and for me this made the story more believable. Different X-MEN adventures in one book, a must have for X-MEN fans.

The Xavier Files

As a huge fan of the X-Men, I have read many novelizations and many comics. But the X-Men themselves remain mostly a mystery. Where do they come from? Why did Xavier choose them? What did they do in their pasts that made them such prime candidates for a team in which trust is everything? All the questions are answered here. It gives you a real insider's view of the X-Men. You journy to the heart of Cerebro, the X-Men's super advanced computer used mainly for the detection of powerful mutants, and see for yourself how it used to be. Each X-Man entered a tale of thier past, something really big that changed their lives. For Jubilee, it was the death of her parents, and then her foster parents, within a year. For Rogue, it was discovering that she wasn't as invincible as she thought. For Xavier himself, (the X-Men's mentor, teacher, and all around best friend) it was his step-brother, Cain Marko, aka the Unstoppable Juggernaut. This is a must-have for any X-Men fan.
